It was way back in 1947 that some of us entered OCHS for the first time as green freshmen, while the rest of us resided across the river at South. In the spring of '48 the South Siders delighted themselves, as well as their audience, with a slap- happy minstrel showg later they sponsored the Spring Carnival as their going-away celebration at SSJH. The fall of 1948 brought over a hundred new puzzled sophomore faces to Senior, but the former ninth-graders of OCHS had no trouble steering about the confusing network of halls and stairs. That year we didn't particularly mind being underclass- men, although we still couldn't attend eleventh and twelfth grade assemblies or borrow books from the junior-senior fiction shelf. We were happy and secluded in our fourth floor abodes, and being a senior seemed a rather abstract notion. In our junior year things really began to hum. We now boasted class officers: Bob Boring, Lorraine Hanna, Sally Stahl and Bud Rankin, along with our own class adviser, Miss Boal. With the ushering in of the 1949 gridiron season, staunch junior girls braved the wind and rain to sell over S500 worth of football programs at the gate of Mitchell Field. Early in 1950, wearing out inches of shoe leather, as well as tons of elbow grease, we scoured our fair city selling magazine subscriptions. We broke all previous records as we finished above our goal, patting ourselves on the back for the fat kitty we had on hand for the publishing of our annual. May took with it the pleasant memories of our Prom, one of the biggest social events of the year. Came the fall of '50 and we rather surprisingly found ourselves the big wheels around OCHS. The gridiron season was soon underway, forever implanted in our hearts was our last football game, when the mighty Oilers defeated the Franklin Nursery. Soon after the term began we were out selling tickets to our class play, Mother Is a Freshman. It sailed off smoothly November 16 and 17 before splen- did audiences. To everyone's delight, our Thanksgiving vacation was extended two days in length because of the thirty-inch snowfall which quite disrupted life around town for several days. Weeks before the Yuletide season, once again our salesmanship techniques were put into practice. It proved to be a big job keeping the records straight on the sales of various cards and wrapping paper, but we pulled through in good condition and added another 51,000 to our treasury. It was about Christmastime that the first order of class rings arrived, and to be sure, we weren't backward about showing them off. Bas- ketball and wrestling claimed our attention as we struggled through mid-term exams and emerged with just 18 weeks of high school left before us. We rooted hard for our champion wrestler, Donn Huff, as he started the long Climb to the State C0U'C9StS, only to lose a decision in the regional bouts. With March went our final basketball game and the deadline for our year-book. During the latter operation one could easily detect a staff member from the inch-deep bags under his eyes and the lack-of-sleep look upon his face. April and May fiew by like jets and as we busily crammed in last minute activities, besides witnessing the excit- ing track meets at Mitchell Field. When we finished our last day of school, it was hard to realize that we wouldn't be coming back again, and that no longer would Mom and Dad have to sign our report cards. After a sensational senior banquet, the big day finally arrived. There were many watery eyes and lump-filled throats on the night of June 4, 1951, as we crossed the stage of the Drake Theater to receive our diplomas. Four long years were over-years full of work, play, disappointments, pleasures. Never will we forget the wonderful times we had at OCHS, our alma mater. May the classes to come enjoy the years there as much as we have. 45 ug. djahhll SAY THE SENIORS 0F '51 AS THEY BEOUEATH IN THEIR CLASS WILL THE FOLLOWING ITEMS T0 THOSE THEY LEAVE BEHIND . .

Second Row-Bert Zweig, Dean Pierce. Clam J-llatonu Although, as yet, the history of the class of '52 is far from being complete, the records show that these alert juniors have been right in the groove. Doubtless to say, their most notable feat was that of breaking all records set at Senior in selling magazine subscriptions, their final sales to- taling well over S3,500. Much credit also goes to their class adviser, Miss Eddy, whose guidance and help promoted the successful campaign. In the spring of 1950, the class elected the following to the position of class officers: Dean Pierce, president, Nancy Smedley, vice presidentg Connie Trax, secretary and Bert Zweig, treas- urer. These juniors were also instrumental in urging their fellow classmates on in their record- breaking subscription drive. Previous to this colossal event, the junior girls increased the class treasury greatly by selling programs at the football games last fall. With these outstanding ac- complishments behind them, next year's seniors have a good chance of going over the top in activi- ties to come. In March the class elected committees to plan for events of the future. Among these were the ring and pin committee, which selected the style of ring to be worn by the seniors next yearg the nominating committee, whose duty it was to choose nominees for next year's class officersg the Oil Can committee which began making plans for the '52 yearbook, and the prom committee, who plan- ned and carried out such a successful prom this year. Having proved themselves extremely capable thus far, we shall be expecting greater things to come from the members of the 1951 junior class. 48 Row l.

A busy group, their activities ranged from dances to sports. Outstanding among their social events were a Christmas dance and a Spring dance. On the football field, they joined forces with the freshmen of Senior to rack up a completely victorious season, while basketball season saw the Red and White tie for second place. Although they escaped the lowliness of being freshmen at Senior, they will nevertheless have to suffer as confused newcomers next year. Row 1.

Among its annual pro- jects are the distribution of football, basketball and wrestling schedules. It also is in charge of the refreshment stand at the football games, this year's stand being under the capable management of John Johnson. Advised by Ernest Wright, throughout the year the council, working through its members. who represent each homeroom in Senior, promoted public service drives. such as those for the benefit of the Community Chest and the March of Dimes cam- paigns. Besides sponsoring a dance after the Oil City-Franklin football game, this or- ganization also was responsible for the house management at the mystery play. Meeting twice a month, the council contained various committees such as 'thesi dealing with point limitations and club charters. Ted Wygant served as president, while elected to other oflices were Anne Johnson, vice-presidentg Lorraine Hanna, sac- retarv, and Tom Tarleton, treasurer. In April these oflicers represented Oil City at a northwestern Pennsylvania Student Council Convention in Meadville. Row 1. Tom Tarleton, Lorraine Hanna, Ted Wygant, Martha Welty, Mr. Wright. Row 2.

A member of the National Honor Society can well be proud of his accomplish- ment, for it is only the students who are outstanding in the traits of character, scholar- ship, leadership, and service who are awarded the card of membership into this hon- orary organization. Nominated previously by a faculty committee, the chosen stu- dents are inducted into the society each March, while several honorary seniors are named at the senior banquet. On March 16, 1951, un- der the direction of faculty adviser, Miss Henrietta Leyda, and formerly-chosen members of the society, NAUDNAL induction ceremonies were conducted admitting ten Hanan. Soimvv seniors and ten juniors to the roll of Oil City's chapter, N q 3359. 5 yr Q . .

Sllebatc Club Resolved: That the social welfare benefits to the people be extended by the federal government. That was the topic on which Senior's debate teams argued in one of the most successful debating years at O. C. H. S. With several second and third teams also debating this year, the club can well be proud of its members' fine records. The first negative team composed of Marilyn Way and Ted Wygant, recorded eight wins and one lossy while Anne Johnson and Bruce Warner, first affirmative team, won four and dropped five contests. Club officers for the year consisted of Ted Wygant, presidentg Marilyn Way, vice-president, and Glenn Henderson, who is to be commended for his outstand- ing job as chairman. Ant Club This year, for the first time, members of the Art Club who earned enough credit received emblems as re- wards for their hard work on various art projects. With the aid of adviser John Ghrist, the craftsmen constructed marionettes and later produced a play using these life-like dolls. Nancy Smedley was elected to the office of presidencyf while Mary Master acted as secretary-treasurer of the club. CCLYYLUICL Clicking shutters and blinding flashes prevail when the members of Camera Club get together. To promote interest in the field of photography is the club's main purpose.

They learn to fix new books, they straighten the shelves, and keep the library in general in good order. The staff is made up of sophomores, junior and senior girls. The sophomore girls spend three periods a week in the library. One period they do work from a manual, one period they are assigned to the desk, and during an- other they lix the books and do other jobs. Junior girls are in the library two periods a week, one period is spent at the desk and the other doinf-'E .general work.

September, 1950, marked the beginning of a new organization at OCHS, the Junior Red Cross Council. Actually, the first plans for such a council started back in August, 1950, when Judy Smed- ley and Jacque Peters, along with Miss Harriet Allen, attended the National Red Cross Convention in Detroit. Returning home, they put their plans for a Junior Red Cross Council before the newly- appointed executive committee, composed of ten members of the senior class. When school opened in the fall, students in each homeroom elected one person to represent them at the council meet- ings. Besides conducting a membership drive, the group packed an overseas chest and promoted the carrying out of correspondence with students of foreign countries. Home nursing was taught in the home economics department, while the vocational boys contributed their efforts to the con- struction of the overseas chest. Officers were Ann Louise Crowe, who replaced Judy Smedley as president and Sally Stahl, secretary. 70 Chemifatnlg Cllub Wham! Bam! Alicazam! These chemistry-enthusiasts are at it again. The club had several meetings this year, and they presented an assembly program of chem- istry magic fin which they practically burned the school down, but the fire extinguish- er, wielded by Jerry Haupt, saved the dayb. This club, under the supervision of Mr. J. J. Connors, elected Jerry Haupt as chairman and Sam Kerr, Dick Angros and Peg Wolbert as committee members. Row l.

Skating parties and bake sales provided ways of raising club funds. For Christmas they thrilled the less fortunate children of the community with doll clothes and toys they had repaired. To add to their activities there were hayrides, tureen din- ners, a farewell party for the Senior members, and a trip to the annual F. H. A. con- ference at Indiana, Pennsylvania. There's no need to explain the club's purpose, the ambition of these girls speaks for itself. 71 Cwlualc R ow Row Hnvi Row How Row Row Row 1.

MR. MITCHELL MR. RUNZO MR. KEEFER 72 44 Camoalllla Chain Approximately one hundred and seventy-five sophomore, junior and senior voices blended together to make one of the largest a cappella choirs in Senior's history. Under the skillful baton of Harland Mitchell, the choristers entertained audiences with their renditions of Wake, Awake and R0l1in' Down to Jordan , a negro spiritual, along with many other delightful compositions. The choir's calendar for 1950-51 was filled with many performances. Besides their annual Christmas program, the group, under the direction of Dr. H. R. Wilson, professor of music at Columbia University, gave a special concert in May in Senior's auditorium. Their outside programs included appearances at Franklin High School, Oil City Rotary Club and various churches throughout the community. On April 18, the choir traveled to Indiana State Teachers' College where they took part in a choral festival. Heading the student government of a cappella were president Bob Boring, who also served as director in the absence of Mitch , secretary, Bud Rankin, and librarian, Ann Louise Crowe. Managing the discipline and taking roll of their respective groups were section leaders Faye Ritchie, first soprano: Barbara Simpson, second sopranog Joanne Barrett, first altog Ann McCade, second altog Ron Daum, first tenor: Dean Pierce, second tenor, Tom Maxwell, baritone, and Sam Kerr, second bass. In December thirteen members of the choir enjoyed the opportunity of at- tending district chorus at Albion, Pennsylvania. Of this group Bob Buckham was selected to journey to Ellwood City February 8, 9, 10 as a member of all-state chorus. cwlwxic Cilub Councdl S1 lted Nancy Ixexnolds Ialrie Moore, Peggy Gibson, Maureen Peterson, Creeta Smith.

Presiding over the group was Ted Wygant, while Paul Karg acted as secretary. During rehearsals and concerts, Philip Runzo directed the musi- cians, in his absence, student directors, Marge Hovis and Paul Karg, took over. Besides performing at Mitchell Field for all the home football games, the band also marched in the Hallowe'en and Memorial Day parades. They led the parade of O. C. H. S. students and cheerleaders who marched through town in preparation for the Oiler-Millcreek game. During a guidance period in the first semester, the instrument- alists gave a splendid concert for the entire student body and faculty. Senior was honored when nineteen of its band members participated in district band.

Senior has another musical organization of which it can be extremely proud. That is the orchestra, composed of thirty-one talented lnstrumentalists, who are interested in the playing and interpretation of semi-classical and classical music. ln the absence of director Philip Runzo, student directors, Larrie Moore, Dick Neubauer, Art Steffee, and Wilbur Swarthout took turns handling the baton. Paul Karg handled the secretarial duties of the group, while Dennis Vickery and Bill Stef- fee acted as librarians. Fourteen members of the orchestra attended district orchestra in Corry, Penn- sylvania, March 8,9 and 10. Participating in this group of musicians from north- western Pennsylvania were Seniorites Bobbie Cartwright, Mary Ann Davis, Delores Hicks, Paul Karg, Larrie Moore, Dick Neubauer, Shirley Norbom, Beverly Smith, Art Steffee, Alma Ruth Thurau, Dennis Vickery, Barbara Waid, Barbara Zimmerman, and Don Zimmerman.

These vivacious girls spent long, tedious hours in rehearsing their routines to perfection. As these high-steppers paraded snappily about the gridiron, following closely head majorette, Joyce Black, one could quickly see that their hard work was not in vain. Applause resounded from the stands as they skill- fully maneuvered in and out among the band, all the while twirling their shiny batons. Long to be remembered by O. C. H.

Uzieautlf Queen Well deserving of the honor bestowed upon her, Sally Stahl was named Beauty Queen of 1951 at the annual Swing Out presentation. Compris- ing the court were eight attractive senior girls who preceded the Queen down the aisle to the stage of the auditorium where the crowning cere- mony took place. With flower girls and a crown bearer preparing her path, Sally reached the stage to receive the symbolizing crown from Bob Buck- ham, senior class president. A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody provided a soft musical back- ground for the ceremony. Ufleautut Queen'A Count The eight lovely girls who composed the queen's court were Peg Porterfield, Lorraine Hanna. Marilyn Way, Faye Ritchie, Barbara Simpson, Barbara Young, Erla Jane McCartney and Joyce Black. These attendants, carrying bouquets of spring flowers, were accom- panied to the stage by their escorts. The court is selected from the eight girls who received next highest number of votes of the queen. fPnom King andl .Queen 82 Elected by members of the jun- ior class, Bob Boring and Peg Por- terfield reigned as king and queen of the junior prom. The coronation ceremony was held at the intermis- sion, with Peg and Bob receiving crowns from junior class president, Dean Pierce. :fwfr - 1 l aff p-r 'Qh QI' M-4.6 duff L CJ Q . V :fi-.

Mother was a freshman ibut what a freshmanll, and how she delighted the audi- ences in the Senior auditorium on November 16 and 17 as she found herself torn be- tween the hysterias of her sophomore daughter and affections of the handsome bi- ology professor. The ill-tempered dean and humorous Bobo added comedy to the situa- tion, while the unassuming housemother and the lively gang kept the play moving at an enjoyable pace. Paul Karg was student director, while Sally Putnam served as assistant student director. MOTHER IS A FRESI-IMAN CAST Mother .... .... ......... . .,., ,....... J o y ce Dodd Helen .

As shots rang in the dark, some of Senior's superb thespians stalked across the stage, while the audience was alternately frightened and amused during the mystery-comedy Midnight , Directed by F. La Monte Lewis, the sterling cast gave commendable performances the evenings of February 22 and 23. The plot revolved around a deserted house, a secret room, G-men, counterfeiters and final- ly, a new explosive. The play furnished funds for securing new stage scenery.

Good sportsmanship on the part of the spectators as well as by the players came through the efforts of this group. Their main purpose was to encourage good relations with the Oilers' traditional rival, Franklin. Bud Rankin served as chairman and Nancy Reynolds, secretary when the board entertained Franklin's public relations group here. The highlight of their work was the first annual Oil City-Franklin Foot-Ball. This successful dance featured a queen and her court. 85 GUI Can .Stats Last spring the lights burned bright and long in room 102 as the deadline for the Can drew closer and closer. Busy, bustling staffs rushed thither and yon putting the finishing touches to their respec- tive tasks. Assisting the art staff with their tre- mendous job was John Ghristg while Doc Anna kept an eye on the business figures. Finally the last write-up was complete, the last picture engraved, and the rest was left to the printer. After a final copyreading, the printer received the go-ahead sig- nal, and the presses started to roll turning out the bright new 1951 Oil Can-a yearbook which we hope will help you to recall fond memories of Senior for many years to come.

Not only did they mold individual stars, but outstanding iight- ing teams. Their fine characters influenced the entire student body together with the sports- minded people of the community. No other school of this region can boast of a more likeable or more capable group of athletic leaders. Mary Lou Bower, Blair Hildebrand, Ralph Jones, George Shoup H. I.. Wells clfanaitu-C Row 1.

The Girls' Athletic Association activities kept its members in trim throughout the year. With the untiring efforts and limitless patience of Miss Bower, the girls de- veloped their natural skills in numerous sports. Basketball and volleyball were the highlights of the year, and not a few of the members had aching muscles to attest to the fact that the games were vigorously contested. These feminine athletes were divided into various teams that fought spiritedly for the much envied first place station. This association does much to better good sports- manship among the girls of Senior High. 92 Seated: Janet Fleming, Peg Porterfield, Donna Beatty.

Setting the pace for the junior varsity were spirited Patty Widger, bashful Peg- gy Gibson, peppy Shirley Roddy, amiable Diane Lauffer, high-jumper Carol Burnett and tiny Suzie Dudzic.

Titusville-Although outgained by a favored Rocket eleven, the Oilers opened up in the last half only to be beaten by a touchdown pass which one of our backs knocked into their receiver's hands. Grove City-This hard fought game was lost on two costly plays, a fifty yard off- tackle run which hit paydirt and a forty yard punt return which accounted for a second score. Greenville-After starting as a gruelling and even battle, the deadlock was broken as Greenville scored on an end run just before the half ended. Their second score came in the third quarter via a blocked Oiler punt. Warren-Although their star halfback was knocked out in the first quarter by hard Oiler tackling, Warren found a weak spot in our line ani battered through for a lone game-winning touchdown. Erie-The only game in which the Oilers were really beaten , they finally dug in to hold the Erie men scoreless in the last half. Meadville-After a truly beautiful offensive display in the first half, the Oilers lost their thirteen-point lead in the second half when the right side of our line weaken- ed to the tune of three Meadville touchdowns. Millcreek - A real heartbreaker, this game was lost after the Oilers pounded through Millcreek for yard after yard, only to be stopped by the clock at half time and at the game's end within easy reach of the goal. Corry-Another hard fought game, this muddy weather fray proved that the Oil- ers had power to burn. Three fumbles inside the twenty yard line cost us the game after we plunged and drove through Corry's heavily favored line all night long. Franklin-After a tough season of heartbreaking losses, five by only one touch- down margins, the Oilers finally crowned the season with a victory over the Franklin eleven. Using the same line bucking power that had battered their last two opponents, the Oilers outscored their rivals 14 to 0. 95 1951 Clflaaleetlarallll .Cettcnmen Jim Gilliland, Tom McLaughlin, Tom Callahan, Dave McFadden, Don Moore Finishing the season with an impressive 11 won and 7 lost record, the Oiler squad furnished local fans with some of the most nerve-wracking games ever witnessed on the Lincoln hardwood. To be sure, the team lost a few, but these were by a small mar- gin and were the exception rather than the rule. Prior to the season, had anyone stated that the Oilers were headed for a success- ful year, few would have believed them. Why, there's no material left for this year. were the mutterings heard throughout the halls. Regardless of all this, the team, under the careful guidance of Coach Wells, was moulded into a precision-like machine capable of registering victory when defeat seemed inevitable in the eyes of the less optimistic fans. The most notable aspects of this year's club were the undaunted spirit and aggres- siveness which made up in teamwork what was lacked in height. fliahlfzetlarafll Schedule Dec 8 Grove City Won Af Jan. 30 Titusville Lost A Dec 12 Mercer Lost Feb. 2 Meadville Lost Dec. 15 Erie Academy Won Feb. 6 Grove City Won Dec 19 Erie Tech Lost Feb. 9 Cranberry Won Jan 5 Meadville Won Feb. 16 Warren Lost Jan 9 Brookville Won Feb. 20 Brookville Lost Jan 16 Alumni Won Feb. 23 Franklin Won Jan 19 Warren Won Feb. 27 Titusville Won Jan 26 Franklin Won Mar. 2 Mercer Lost 'FH-Home games. 1kA Away games.

Jerry Black- Jerry made a very good showing in his first year before the fans, and when he strained those muscles you knew his opponent was in trouble. Wade Simons- Wade was a virtual demon when grappling' and sent many of the unluckies who crossed him to the bench with bruises and pains to prove that fact. Paul Hazlett- One of the most determined and best condition- ed wrestlers, Paul managed to have his man on the bottom a great deal of the time.

Coach Blair Hildebrand's Oiler grapplers racked up the most impressive record in wrestling's four-year history at Senior by winning six of their nine matches last winter. The Blue and White grunt and groan boys hit the Grove City matmen for two stunning upsets, the iirst victories ever won over the Eagle squad. Our hat is off to Donn Huff, who successfully defended his District 10 champion- ship in the 145-pound weight classification this year. The four-year letterman won twenty-four matches while losing only three during the past three seasons, twenty- one of these victories being gained by fals. Donn has by far been the most outstanding grappler the Oilers have produced thus far. This interest and accomplishment reveal that the snort sport is on the way up as a varsity sport. So, with this upsurge in enthusiasm, in the future you can expect some top-notch wrestling teams cavorting on the Senior High mats. clltfnebitlllncg Schecllulle llec. 1-1 Greenville Lost AH' Feb lirie Academy VVon Jan. ll Warren Won A Feb Titusville Lost Jan. 18 Greenville Lost lla' Feb Grove City Won Jan. 225 Titusville Won A Feb Warren Won Fm 1 Grove City Won A 'ill-llonie games.

The third year of organized track and field events in Oil City High School showed the best rounded team yet observed. A nucleus of eight seniors was responsible for many of the feats accomplished. However, not to be passed by without notice are the undergrads who may be accredited with doing their share for the team. Mention should also be made of the outstanding half-mile relay team. Although head coach John Kaufman's advice was sought everywhere on the practice Held, he mainly specialized in the cinder burners or sprinters. Coach Hilde- brand was advice-giver for the long-winded mile and half-milers. Two student coaches from Slippery Rock. Mr. Clover and Mr. Shreve, proved very helpful in the hurdles and weights. This year's schedule was larger because of an addition of two teams, Mercer and Clarion. A highlight of the season was the triangular meet composed of Oil City, Titusville and Meadville. lOl H. T.
